New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – Z43
FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2022 Model Year (JL) Jeep Wrangler vehicles.

SERVICE ACTION
FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the tail lamp assemblies on all affected vehicles. The remedy for this condition is not currently available.
